[Saba Sports News] A photo of Matthew Tkachuk and Jayson Tatum went viral after Tkachuk’s Florida Panthers captured the Stanley Cup. The Panthers secured their first franchise Stanley Cup with a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 7 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla. This win gave Tkachuk his first Stanley Cup, coincidentally just a week after Tatum clinched his first NBA championship with the Boston Celtics.

Both Tkachuk and Tatum, who are 26 years old and were top-10 draft picks in their respective sports, attended Chaminade College Preparatory School in Creve Coeur, Missouri. The timing of their championship wins, exactly a week apart, adds an extraordinary twist to their shared history.
